  • Q1
    1. Which of the following best defines the term mass?

  • Q2
    2. Why does a person riding in a moving car lurch forward when the car is suddenly stopped?
    the mass of the person is great enough to overcome the inertia of the car
    the person is already in motion and wants to stay in motion
    the action of the car stopping requires an equal and opposite reaction
    the seat exerts a reaction force on the person
